The Government has extended the social obligation mechanism in the natural gas market until mid-April 2024. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

“We are ensuring that heat tariffs for households remain unchanged in the coming heating season. Naftogaz will continue to sell gas to household heat suppliers at a fixed price of UAH 7,400 per thousand cubic metres,” the Head of Government said.

According to the Prime Minister, this decision is part of comprehensive measures to prepare for the winter: “We are working to ensure that every Ukrainian has light and heat in their homes, and that our critical infrastructure is reliably protected from russian missiles and drones.”
